Sir Shina Peters said it is the dream of every musician to have evergreen songs at the end of their career.

 
Nigerian Juju musician, Oluwashina Akanbi Peters aka Sir Shina Peters has boasted that he has more classics than the legendary Michael Jackson.
 
According to him, classics are the most desirable legacy of any musician.
 
He stated this while featuring in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast.
 
Sir Shina Peters said it is the dream of every musician to have evergreen songs at the end of their career.
 
The 67-year-old music veteran said he feels accomplished having bagged four classics, claiming that he has more classics than the late American pop star, Michael Jackson.
 
“The only thing you can show for showbiz at the end is how many evergreens you have produced. To my credit, I have four evergreens. Even Michael Jackson has just two; Of The World and Thriller.

“So, if I have four, I am accomplished,” he expressed.
 
Sir Shina Peters, however, expressed dissatisfaction over the current state of the Nigerian music industry.
 
He lamented that most of the standards he and his contemporaries worked hard to set have been “bastardised” by the present crops of artists.
